Maintenance
The LoraTap Wireless Remote Control Outlet requires minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces of the outlet and remote with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
- Battery Replacement: The remote control is powered by one CR2032 battery, which is included. If the remote's indicator light does not illuminate or its range decreases significantly, it may be time to replace the battery. To replace, carefully open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery with the correct polarity.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LoraTap Wireless Remote Control Outlet, consider the following common solutions:
- Device Not Responding:
- Ensure the outlet receiver is securely plugged into a live power socket.
- Verify that the appliance connected to the outlet is properly plugged in and functioning correctly when directly connected to a power source.
- Check the battery in the remote control. Replace if necessary (refer to Maintenance section).
- Ensure the remote is within the 100-foot operating range. While the signal can pass through walls, excessive obstacles or interference sources may reduce range.
- Interference: The LoraTap system uses rolling codes to minimize interference. If you experience unexpected behavior, try moving the remote or receiver slightly, or ensure no other strong RF devices are operating in very close proximity.
- Re-pairing Remote and Outlet: If the remote and outlet lose connection, they may need to be re-paired. Typically, this involves pressing and holding a button on the receiver until an indicator light flashes, then pressing a button on the remote. Refer to the specific pairing instructions in your product's quick start guide for detailed steps.
- Power Outage Memory: If the device does not return to its previous state after a power outage, ensure the memory function is active (it is typically automatic). If issues persist, contact customer support.
